Thani Oruvan is the latest Tamil Superhit. The movie starring Jeyam Ravi, Nayanthara and Arvind Swamy released on 28th August and has managed to attain both critical acclaim and mass appeal. Already talks are for remaking the movie in Telugu and Hindi.

The movie had a good first weekend and raked in Rs 1.28 crore from 240 shows. In its second weekend, it collected Rs 1.06 crore to take its 10-day collection to Rs 3.35 crore.

"Baahubali" had made an earth-shattering business of Rs 1.66 crore in its opening weekend from two versions. It collected Rs 1.05 crore from 237 shows in its second weekend and ended its 10-day collection at Rs 3.84 crore at the Chennai box office.

Thani Oruvan thus failed to surpass the 10-day business of the Baahubali. Nonetheless, the performance of "Thani Oruvan" has been highly appreciated by traders, who had less hopes on its box office fortunes before the release. Now, competing with a blockbuster like "Baahubali" is an achievement by itself for the film, believes the industry.

Meanwhile, "Baahubali" during the last weekend, had 24 shows and earned Rs 3.07 crore to take its total tally to Rs 8.19 crore by the end of the ninth weekend, reports Behindwoods. It has to be seen whether "Thani Oruvan" can beat this record.
